Animations transition and player.cs
by H.W. Kim · in Torque Game Engine · 01/24/2008 (11:11 pm) · 2 replies
When I changed player.cs as followsing and the orc's animations is not work correctly. See the bold lines:
As you can see the above code, I changed all animations to use 'player_side.dsq' DSQ file from sequence4.
I found that when I made my cutom model and replaced with root, run, back and side animations with the new ones. Inside the game, all player's animations are not changed correctly. Even there is no rule. For instance, sometimes it animates run when I press 'w' but sometimes not and it sames to other back, side animations.
Is there any related issue such as hard coded inside engine? If so, what it is?

I'm not sure if this is related, but there's an extra space on Sequence 9 between the 9 and the equal sign. :P

As this forum thread says, the first 8 thread are required ones and I replaced last 5 ones (from 'look' to 'jump') all to just 'player_side.dsq' animation. That change seems to make the problem.
But I stll don't understand exact reason for taht why it happens and the 'ground transform' seems to be one of hard part related player animation and move system.
Any ideas or suggestions?
